Para el que cree de veras, todo es posible." What’s this epiphany? I’ve always felt empty with these beliefs Facts changed at their will Thus we could be controlled You punish me if I don’t follow the rules Can you fit all this in perfection? Death has come to me and made me see the darkest night Suffocation’s nothing compared to its evil wrath Suddenly epiphanies destroyed the wicked knight I started to believe and chose to live my life © 2020 Eclipse Records, all rights reserved. ⓟ 2019 Eclipse Beta Songs (BMI) & Eclipse Loud (ASCAP)

Sifting reveal new music video ‘Agony’ in huge darkspace

BY ECLIPSE ON NOVEMBER 25, 2020NEWSSHORTURL: http://eclp.se/bxh-a

Progressive thrash-metal masters Sifting have revealed a new music video from their critically acclaimed album The Infinite Loop, for the epic eleven-minute song “Agony“. The video was directed by Eduardo Osuna Gil and filmed in a huge faux dark space. This is the sixth music video from the band’s latest full-length album The Infinite Loop which is available everywhere now via Eclipse Records. The album was produced by Steve Evetts (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Suicide Silence, Poison the Well), and mixed by Jamie King (Between The Buried And Me, The Contortionist). Watch the “Agony” music video it right now:

“This video has been the most challenging video I shot to date,” says lead vocalist & guitarist Eduardo Gil. “We transformed our small studio to visually look like a huge dark space, but Agony is also one of the hardest songs to play on the album. The concept of the dark space goes perfectly with the darkness of the song itself which portrays the evil feeling and frustration of the main character within the song.” Drummer Joey Aguirre adds “Agony is a special one because it’s one of the longest songs on the album and also one of my favorites, so I hope this video inspires everybody who watches it. Our studio is small and we’re always cramped in there but Eduardo had this amazing vision of covering the background in black to add depth. Every individual shot of us had the drums placed in a different position which made it look like we were in an excessively big space.”

The Infinite Loop was released in late 2019 and it features a special guest performance by Derek Sherinian (Sons of Apollo, Dream Theater). The album has received overwhelming critical acclaim from the likes of Metal Injection saying “The Infinite Loop solidifies Sifting as a truly worthwhile up-and-comer (8/10)”, Blabbermouth.net who says “more bands like Sifting please (8/10)”, Metallum Subterra adding “The Infinite Loop is a masterpiece! (10/10)”, as well as an eight week run in The Devil’s Dozen on SiriusXM Liquid Metal, and many more.
